Tycobbian Baseball Union - East Division

Cape Coral Chills Hellcats, 5-2
On a rainy day in Hartsdale before an almost capacity crowd at Pioneer Park, the Hellcats took it on the chin against the Cape Coral Hurricanes 5-2. Portsider Wally Robinson held them to 6 hits and 1 run before he ran out of gas in the eighth. Katsuyuki Nagashima got the last 5 outs for the save, but he did give up a run in the ninth. The 'Canes ripped starting pitcher Danny Griffin for 5 runs and 6 hits in 5 innings and were never challenged. Cape Coral's right fielder Rob Kelly got the only home run of the game, a solo shot in the second inning.

Fortunato's Double Wins It in the 12th
A full house at De la Vega Stadium really got their money's worth with the hometown Luxora Zorros edging South Fork 2-1 in twelve innings. CF Tom Fontunato's ground rule double plated Kenny Baker from second base with the winning score. It was a very well-pitched game. Ken Callahan went the first 10 innings for the Zorros and gave up only 1 run on 5 hits. Reliever Andy Stevens shutout the Stallions in the last 2 frames to get the victory. South Fork's Ken Olson went the distance and lost a heartbreaker. He allowed 11 hits, but fanned 9 and walked only one in a fine performance.
There was only one home run in the game. CF Eddie Isaksen hit one out for the Stallions to tie the score at 1-1 in the seventh.
There were 9426 fans in the stands for the 2001 opener, played on a cold, rainy and dreary afternoon. The game was played in 38-degree weather.

Hatch, Snow, Braun Pace Naturals Over Ninjas
Ozarka rode solid pitching by Luther Hatch and home runs by Floyd Snow and Terry Braun to whip Ginza 5-3 before a disappointed full house at Ninja Stadium. Hatch tossed a complete game, surrendering 8 hits, striking out 2 and walking 2. Snow smashed a 3-run roundtripper in the fourth off Ninja starting pitcher Kazuhiro Nakayama and Braun clubbed a 2-run job in the eighth off Toshiharu Ito. Takashi Fujimoto put one out of the park for Ginza.
Nakayama was the losing pitcher, yielding 3 runs on 4 hits in 7 innings. He fanned 9 and walked 4. Nakayama left for a pinchhitter in the seventh, trailing by a score of 3-1.
